August is National Make-A-Will Month
Focus on Philanthropy on 08/20/2024
August is National Make-a-Will Month, a dedicated time to reflect on the legacy you want to leave behind for your loved ones and the world. Writing a will is a powerful way to ensure that your values and wishes are honored long into the future. It provides peace of mind, knowing that your affairs are in order and your loved ones are protected.
But your will can do more than secure your family’s future—it can also make a lasting impact on the causes you care deeply about. By including a charitable bequest in your will, you can support the mission of organizations like ours, ensuring that the work you believe in continues for generations to come.
During National Make-a-Will Month, we encourage you to take this important step. Whether you’re creating a will for the first time or updating an existing one, now is the perfect moment to reflect on how you want to be remembered. Your legacy of generosity can transform lives, provide hope, and inspire change in ways that endure beyond your lifetime.
